Cheap Hits: Getting personal with ... Trevor Hammargren

Hammargren, a 22-year-old, 6-foot, 180-pound senior wide receiver from Aztec, N.M., caught two touchdowns in West Texas A&M’s 72-0 win in the homecoming game Saturday over Central (Ohio) State. He caught nine passes for 88 yards through five games, and four of those receptions have been touchdowns.

How did it feel to score multiple touchdowns, especially in the homecoming game? “I had never scored more than once in college, and that was the first time I ever had. I had scored a couple times in other games, but it kept getting called back, so to do it on my last homecoming was pretty special.”

What has it been like to be a senior this year? “It’s definitely different. You have a whole different perspective on it. This is your last ride. Every time you think about not wanting to go to practice you’re like, ‘Well, at this time next year I won’t be playing,’ so it kind of gives you motivation.”

What’s your major? “Business management.”

Why did you choose that? “I have a minor in marketing, as well, and just leadership from football and all that, it just kind of goes hand in hand. A lot of my classes, I can kind of put them both ways with football and life.”

Do you have any plans yet after this year? “I don’t know yet. I’m thinking about going to grad school. I just haven’t decided yet.”

Do you have any hobbies outside of football? “Where I grew up, I’m a big outdoors guy. I like to hike, fish, hunt, stuff like that, ride four-wheelers, snowboard, all of the action adventure kind of stuff.”

Have you had a chance to do much of that this fall? “In the fall I’m usually pretty busy, but on winter break I go home and I’ll go four-wheeling, snowboarding, stuff like that. In the spring I try to go on little trips here and there.”

Do you have any big trophies from your hunts? “Yeah, I’ve got a few deer, some elk, things like that just in that general area over there by Colorado.”

Is there anything in particular that you really enjoy hunting? “I enjoy elk hunting just because they are so big. It’s just a lot of fun.”
